Appendix D, chapter "No CFI table found" Error :

--- Quote Start ---

When you run the flash programmer to program CFI flash memory, you

get the error: "No CFI table found at address <base address>"

Probable Cause

The flash programmer can connect with a Nios II JTAG debug module in

the FPGA, but it can not successfully execute a query to a flash memory

at the base address specified.

Suggested Actions

&#9632; If you are using nios2-flash-programmer in command-line mode,

make sure you specified the correct base address for the CFI device.

You can find the flash memory's base address in SOPC Builder.

&#9632; Run nios2-flash-programmer in command-line mode with the

--debug parameter. This command dumps the flash memory's

query table. Compare the output with the flash memory device's

data sheet. For further details, see Chapter 3, Using the Flash

Programmer in Command-Line Mode.

&#9632; Ensure your flash memory hardware is correctly connected to place

it at the base address specified in SOPC Builder. Verify the base

address by running the "Test Flash" routine in the "Memory Test"

software template provided in the Nios II IDE. If the test fails, there

is a problem with your memory connection. There are two places to

look for the problem:

&#9679; The physical connection on your target board

&#9679; The pin assignments on the top-level FPGA design

&#9632; If all else fails, make sure the flash memory device you are using does

not require an override file. See Appendix A, Non-Standard Flash

Memories for details.
